BENwOOD.

Three men-not of Gotham-hailing
from Marion county, struck the town yes
teriay. Presumably the T. Il. AS cele-
bration and the circus looming after it,
had attractions for them; so had the saloons
of BenwoOd-the latter irresistible attrae-
tions. The men sought lodging at the
boarding house Of Mr.. Houseman, where
about midnight they INDUCED in too much
hilarity for the comfort OF the other board
ers, and the proprietor requested them to
Immediately take their departure. There
upon they grew uproariOus and the police
men took them before the Mayor, and here
the point of this paragraph develops.
While the Mayor was getting in readiness
to hear the case, one OF the men arose and
stated emphatically that he was United
States Marshal, and pointing to one OF his
companiOns said he was Chief of Police OF
ParkerSburg, and that the other one of the
trio was their prisoner. The Mayor de-
manded that the quasi Marshal show his
credentials, but he had naught TO show.
Then he was informed by the Mayor that
his impOSture rs United States Marshal
was criminal, that it was his duty to
commit him, and that he was per
sonally acquainted with the Chief Of PO-
lice of Parkersburg and that it was futile
for him to try and palm of his companion
for that gentleman, and they were ordered
to the bastile for further hearing. On the
way there they had n consultation and
begged to return to the Mayors office,
where they desired that they might be ar
raigned for disorder and that the reference
To U. s. NJ. would be dropped. Their de
sire was granted and two of them pleaded
guilty and were mulcted. There was
no charge against the prisoner. "
IL appears that all he did was
to foot the bill for the drinks. They were
told to leave the town Immediately and
not to stand on the order of their going.
They afterwards acknowledged that they
were from Marion county, but we with
hold names as they appeared to be farmers
and this lark may teach them lesson.

IL seems that the Associated Press Re
ports from Charleston have misrepre-
scented Mr.. SHELTON REGER in his testi-
mong before the MINEAE investigating
committee. The usual reliability Of the
Associated Press makes people take rs fact
the reports sent out. But it appears that
there was q mistake somewhere in the
Charleston matter, and an injustice has
been done MIR REGER.
We take pleasure in giving this editorial
from the JcgtrSoRi1R-P ldiRdsdLcr, a paper
published at Mr.. ROGERS own home,
showing the estimation in which ne is held
by the people of Barbour:
Shelton L. Reger, who has been before
the Minear Investigating Committee ut
Charleston, came home yesterday morning
after some papers and returned in the
evening He requests H. 10 say that the
reports sent out by the Associated Press to
the various papers are not the correct tcS-
timOny ~ given on the witness stand, and
does him great injustice. Mr.. Roger is
well known To the people OF this county,
and, rs to them, it is needless for us TO say
anything, hut for the benefit CT those
away, We have 20 say that he stands well
with the people among whom he was
raised; is young man of character pure
and unSpOtted; lawyer and a business
man of excellent qualities, and stands high
in the estimation of those who have had
business relations with him.

The REGISTER is already in receipt Of
kilograms and communications more or

sire to publish matter OF this kind. The
fight is now over, and recriminatiOn is en-
tirely unCalled for, can do no one any
good and may do harm. Nor do we care
to publish anything malignant against Mr..
LUCNs in the policy he has declared he
will follow in contrasting for the Senator
ial seat. Mr.. Lucas may yet see that the
position he occupies toward the DemOc-
racy of the State aud toward the National
Constitution is a very untenable and
undesirable one, and he may acquiesce
in the result.
OF course we DO not object to short, inter
esting, argumentatiye articles on any sub
iect.
But we now regard the Senatorial battle
as over, and we want peace in our ranks.
1t has been necessary in the past few
months to say some severe things about men
in our own party, but now all should forget
the past and should unite and turn against
the common enemy. The Democracy has
come out of the bitter struggle in pretty
good fighting trim, better than the Repub,
licans expected and much better
than they desired. The DemOc-
racy is even now in bet
ter condition than the Republican party
whose principal business during the entire
session was to whip men into their ranks,
close up the lines and SOW discOrd among
the Democracy. The Republicans have
shown adherence TO no principe except tn,
principle of itch for office.
